English to French
Tech/Engineering
Law: Contract(s)
Machinery sale contract
In a contract for the sale of machinery by a French engineering company to a Chinese company. The contract was drawn up by the Chinese company and up to here has been in good English.
The Seller shall submit **aformal invoice** and a packing list to the Buyer before issuing the original ones.
Clearly, "a formal invoice" was meant, but do you think this itself is an error for "a pro-forma invoice"? The term "the original ones" feels odd too.
For Chinese speakers, the sentence is:
卖方在开具发票原件和装箱单原件前,应该开具一份正式发票和装箱单。
(Sorry I don't know where to put the asterisks ...)

: à moins qu'il ne s'agisse en effet d'une facture pro forma, ce qui serait + logique

Peut-être veulent-ils une facture proforma qui soit exactement comme la facture qui sera présentée plus tard
